When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow
A sweeter place I never did know
Than the rolling hills o' the border 

I hae travelled far and wide
Senn the Hudson and seen the Clyde,
I've courted by Loch Lomondsside 
But I dearly love the border

When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow,
A sweeter place I never did know,
Than the rolling hills o' the border 

Often I hae mind o' the day
Wi' my lass, I strolled by the Tay
But all it's beauty fades away
Among the hills o' the border

When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow
A sweeter place I never did know
Than the rolling hills o' the border 

There's a certain peace of mind
That Bonnie lasses, there you'll find 
Men so sturdy, men so kind
Among the hills o' the border

When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow
A sweeter place I never did know
Than the rolling hills o' the border
